This is fantastic:-D me and my hubby love Indian curry and i, m starting softstage in 3 days, my crockpot is never going to be off, I can now cook something we can both have even if mines 1/8 of his portion :-D we both love cooking , so please any healthy versions of Indian cuisine eould be fantastic :-D

I had one appt with the weigh ahead team in sheffield and asked there and then to be refferred for the sleeve,i got my refferal in febuary 2013 and went to the pre bairiatric meeting in march and was offerred my surgery in april.i did,nt have the surgery until august due to holidays booked and my bf wedding,they even took the date of my bf wedding and offerred me surgery 10 days after so i could start the pre op diet the day after!! they were brilliant,i,m almost 6 months post op and 5 stone gone i am half way there and so glad i took the steps to lose the weight.goodluck with your op it wont take long now you have been given the go ahead.

I wonder if I froze some it would be like icecream, that would be so good, i, m going to test it now:-)

So to add to the stupid comment. Today I went down to lunch to warm up my Soup. Mind you I am 5 weeks out as of today and down 23 pounds. My lovely manager is siting there and she asks in front of about 8 people, so how much have you lost(she asks this almost everyday) I said well I am the same as friday. She proceeds to say, "well you would think the weight would fall right off of you" like i am going to lose 100# in a month. I said well I am happy with my progress actually. She is determined to show that I am either not following things right and eating dorittos for every meal, or that this is such an extreme step and it doesn;t work. Well F*#k her is all I have to say to that

8 months out and everything seems "normal" and "routine" for me - that's a good thing! I don't feel like I'm doing anything really different or special. I just make better choices now and eat in smaller quantities, not because I feel like I "should" more like because I "have to". It's just the way it is... so yeah, total non-issue!

He sees you everyday so he's not going to notice those changes, maybe leave for a week...lol he'll notice when ya come back :-D

Lol I did, nt start mine on day 1 it started on day 2! I had a Chinese food funeral on day 1 lol :-/, dont worry it wont make any difference if you start a day late, my surgeon said my liver was perfect :-D

I took my littleboy to see despicable me 2 yesterday and bought him popcorn and Pepsi max I also had a couple of mini cheese crackers bags in my bag for him, I had a cup of tea, It doesnt bother me so much because its my littleman I took him to McDonald's after for a happy meal and again I had tea, I just figure there's no point avoiding these situations because you just gotta accept you, ve made a positive change to your eating and life goes on and I wont deprive my littleman the occasional treat.

Butternut squash and corriannder Soup, so easy to make and delicious, you can also freeze it, its never too late you, ve just got to work with your sleeve its a tool, thats what my surgeon drilled into me, its my mantra now lol

Wow thats fantastic, my goal is to lose 147lbs i, m down 21 already 11 days post op so I have 126lbs to go, I really hope I can do as well as you have, well done :-)

Omg I just made the best lobster "bisque". I made it up as I went, hence the note below.
Half an onion sliced thin
3 cloves garlic smashed
1in ginger sliced thin and julienned
5 Campari tomatoes
1/2 head cauliflower
3 c chicken stock
2 tablespoons pesto
1 lb frozen langoustine or lobster (see note below)
Salt
Pepper
Sauté onions, garlic and ginger until browned (I used ghee, you can use fat of choice or spray w Pam). Pour in chicken broth and dump everything except frozen langoustine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are tender. Put in langoustines and cook over slow heat until cooked through.
Purée Soup until smooth and voila!
Note: We took out two cups of Soup and puréed 6 oz of langoustines. That gives us 3 oz each or 14 gms of protein! I'm saving the rest to purée with shrimp tomorrow. If I had a recipe, I might not have so much soup left over but it's very good.
Rich, creamy, flavorful and maybe I won't have to do another Protein shake tonight. I've had worse in pricey restaurants.

wow that does sound good !!! going to try it this weekend

Hi i, m 5 days post op and the 1 st soup I pureed was butternut squash and corriannder, its so simple to make and I have enough to last the whole wk, so I just portioned and froze it. I just used a chicken stock cube salt pepper and a clove of garlic and boiled up the butternut squash, then when it was ready to blend I chopped s bunch of corriannder and blitzed it up to a smooth consistancy, it was so goooood after my milk and yoghurt pre op diet. Tommorow I am making a chicken soup with onions and peppers with basil and thyme. :-)
